How can I delete a user or guest account on Mavericks?

I have a guest and another user account set up on my Mac. I tried deleting them, but couldn't.

Yes I did. All the conditions and actions stated by Mende1 above have been done.
I'm getting a feeling that an Adobe software update is involved in some convoluted way. I keep getting an Adobe message at log-in and it brings me to the Guest User log-in page although I have no desire to have any guest user use the Adobe CC software involved in the update.....that's why I don't care to have ANY guest user account. In the rare instance I let someone use my computer, I'm nearby, and they can use my account....but, that's extremely rare.
The default page for log-in after sleep is my account; that is checked in the User & Group Preferences. However, my computer is now opening on the Guest User page despite that.

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

    You only lose iCloud data from other devices if you manually delete the data. If you Erase all content and data, you keep iCloud data elsewhere.

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

  • How can I delete SKYPE to GO - my account has been...

    How can I delete SKYPE to GO???? My account has been hacked and a SKYPE to Go account has been set up with I number I am unable to delete. It has proved impossible to contact anyone at SKYPE to inform them of this and to ask for assistance in deleting the account. My credit card has already been debited for calls I have not made. I am just beginning to realise that SKYPE has very little interest in the security of its customers account.  I would be really grateful for any help the SKYPE community can give me to delete this SKYPE to GO account. If anyone has contact details for SKYPE that would be much appreciated. Many thanks

    Hi, Hannah84000, and welcome to the Community,
    Please keep trying to contact Skype Customer Service.  I have read that people are experiencing problems reaching them, however try using a different browser, and be on the alert to accept a pop-up dialogue box window that would appear if you are directed to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
    People are getting through; sometimes is takes more than one or two attempts.  Skype is aware of this.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine

    I bought a new computer and I cannot transfer my library to this new one. The message says that I'm not allowed to sync with two computers??? How can I delete the previous one from my account???

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.

  • How can I delete phantom User ID's in quota list?

    When I go to the Quotas tab in Server Admin I notice that there are about 40 User ID's (1631, 1632, etc.) listed along with the 150 user names on our Xserve. These User ID's correspond to user accounts that I deleted last year or at the beginning of this school year. They are still listed as having their assigned quotas. However, the accounts do not show up in WorkGroup Manager.
    Does anyone know why these accounts are still hanging around after I deleted the users in WGM, and how I can permanently delete them?
    This is on a G5 Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.4.10.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi Matt,
    After doing some research on the internet I managed to find a solution to the problem. Try executing 'quotacheck -a' from the command line.
    Quotacheck validates the file storage data with the quota information used to report quota information. There's some very good information at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-satdiskmon.html
    They also suggest running this automatically using cron -- once a day should be fine.
    Quotacheck description taken from the man pages:
    +Quotacheck examines each filesystem, builds a table of current disk+
    +usage, and compares this table against that recorded in the disk quota+
    +file for the filesystem. If any inconsistencies are detected, both the+
    +quota file and the current system copy of the incorrect quotas are+
    +updated (the latter only occurs if an active filesystem is checked). By+
    +default both user and group quotas are checked.+
    Regards,
    Patrick

  • How can I delete iTunes user?

    I have a old iTunes user and I want to delete it...
    How can I do that?

    Why would you give someone your account details? Presumably the problem is that you still have a credit card or other source of funding attached to the account and now other people are spending your money. Chances are that they have now changed the password making it harder for you to log in and remove your card details.
    It turns out you can delete an account, although eventually you would permanently lose access to any protected purchases made with that account. What makes more sense is to deactivate the account and/or remove any credit card/other funding associated with it.
    Try to sign in to the store with your account details or visit Apple ID Support and use the Recover your password link if you have been locked out of the account.

  • How can I delete my user pic under 10.6?

    Hi there,
    I want to delete my user pic. This was possible easily before 10.5 with the NetInfo Manager (if I remember correctly). On my actual system I can't find a way to delete the user pic. So I would be happy if you could give me a hint how to do that.
    (A workaround would be to use a monochrome user pic, but this results in pixels in Mail-Printouts also. So this is not a solution I would prefer. I would delete the pic completely.)
    Thanks in advance.

    AFAIK you can't delete it altogether, you have to use one of the provided ones or your own. Probably you are aware that the picture isn't sent with outgoing mail: but if your concern is to keep it off printouts, you could replace it with a plain white square.

  • How can I delete a user group that my computer will not delete?

    I tried to remove a user group from my desktop following the procedures given. I could remove all but one user.
    This is the one I want to remove. How can I do this? I have 4 user groups. Why?, when ever I had trouble and called AppleCare
    they had me install a new user group, which I never removed.

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    dscl . -read /groups/admin GroupMembership
    You should get the following output below what you entered:
    GroupMembership: root admin1 admin2 ...
    where admin1, admin2, ... are the names of the admin users. Is the output what you expect?
